I'm also pretty sure the "movementCount -= loopInterval;" lines shouldn't be in the case 3 and case 4 and default switches. They are unnecessary in case 3 and 4, and constantly decremented when there is no motion in the default case.
just tried those changes and the output still does not stay high except for the time when the switch is closed, in other words no auto operation.

I am using the onboard LED (pin 13) as the output for testing as it is easier than uploading the code and installing in the car to test
